git rename remote branch
# Rename the local branch to the new name
git branch -m <old_name> <new_name>
# Delete the old branch on remote - where <remote> is, for example, origin
git push <remote> --delete <old_name>
# Or shorter way to delete remote branch [:]
git push <remote> :<old_name>
# Push the new branch to remote
git push <remote> <new_name>
# Reset the upstream branch for the new_name local branch
git push <remote> -u <new_name>Git change remote branch name
1. Verify the local branch has the correct name:
git branch -a
2. Next, delete the branch with the old name on the remote repository:
git push origin ––delete old-name
3. Finally, push the branch with the correct name, and reset the upstream branch:
git push origin –u new-name
Alternatively, you can overwrite the remote branch with a single command:
git push origin :old-name new-name
Resetting the upstream branch is still required:
git push origin –u new-nameedit branch name git
$ git checkout Branch-Name-You-Want-to-Change
$ git branch -m New-Branch-Namechange local branch name
git branch -m <newname>rename remote branch in git
git push origin :<branch_to_rename>
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
git push --set-upstream origin <new_branch_name>Copyright © 2021 Codeinu
